100% disabled veterans, POW's, exempt from "wheel tax"

ROGERSVILLE ? Hawkins Co. Veterans Service Officer Danny Breeding this week reminded all "100% permanently disabled" military veterans that they are exempt from paying the county wheel tax.

Breeding noted that former prisoners of war also are exempt from paying the wheel tax under state law.

However, 100% disabled veterans and former prisoners of war are required to show proof of their disabled or prisoner of war status when renewing their vehicle registrations in order to be exempt from paying the county wheel tax, he said.
